摘要:
目的 分析不确定期慢性HBV感染者肝组织病理学损伤特点,探讨此类患者启动抗病毒治疗的时机。 方法 回顾性筛选2018年3月—2022年4月在中国人民解放军总医院第五医学中心住院并接受肝活检的慢性HBV感染者,纳入其中符合《慢性乙型肝炎防治指南(2022年版)》定义的不确定期者,收集其临床资料。肝组织病理学分期基于Scheuer标准,将炎症程度(G)分为0~4期,纤维化程度(S)分为0~4期,按照存在显著炎症(≥G2)及存在显著纤维化(≥S2)分别进行分组。正态分布的计量资料2组间比较采用成组t检验;非正态分布计量资料2组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U 检验;计数资料2组间比较采用χ2检验或Fisher确切概率法。采用Spearman秩相关分析探讨肝组织病理学与临床因素之间的关联,通过Logistic回归模型筛选显著炎症和肝纤维化的独立影响因素。 结果 共纳入271例不确定期慢性HBV感染者,61例(22.5%)存在显著炎症,124例(45.8%)存在显著肝纤维化。Logistic回归分析显示,ALT≥30/19 U/L(男/女)(OR=2.69, 95%CI:1.39~5.21,P=0.003)、HBV DNA≥2 000 IU/mL(OR=2.75, 95%CI:1.38~5.48,P=0.004)以及LSM≥6.0 kPa(OR=4.57, 95%CI:2.17~9.62,P<0.001)是显著炎症的独立风险因素。HBV DNA≥2 000 IU/mL(OR=1.82, 95%CI:1.01~3.32, P=0.049)以及LSM≥6.0 kPa(OR=2.06, 95%CI:1.23~3.43, P=0.006)是显著肝纤维化的独立影响因素。 结论 不确定期慢性HBV感染者中有较高比例的患者具有显著肝组织病理学改变,具有高危因素的患者需要及时启动抗病毒治疗。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the features of liver histopathological damage in patients with indeterminate phase of chronic HBV infection, as well as the timing for initiating antiviral therapy in such patients. Methods A retrospective screening was performed for the patients with chronic HBV infection who were hospitalized in The Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and underwent liver biopsy from March 2018 to April 2022, among whom the patients who met the criteria for indeterminate phase defined in Chinese guidelines for chronic hepatitis B prevention and treatment (2022 edition) were enrolled, and their clinical data were collected. Liver histopathological stage was determined using the Scheuer scoring system, with stages 0 — 4 for inflammation grade (G) and stages 0 — 4 for fibrosis degree (S), and the patients were divided into groups based on the presence of significant necroinflammation (≥G2) and significant liver fibrosis (≥S2). The independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups; the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A Spearman’s rank correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between liver histopathology and clinical factors, and the Logistic regression model was used to identify the independent influencing factors for significant necroinflammation and liver fibrosis. Results A total of 271 patients with indeterminate phase of chronic HBV infection were enrolled, among whom 61 (22.5%) had significant necroinflammation (≥G2) and 124 (45.8%) had significant liver fibrosis (≥S2). The Logistic regression analysis showed that alanine aminotransferase ≥30 U/L (for male patients) or ≥19 U/L (for female patients) (odds ratio [OR]=2.69, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39 — 5.21, P=0.003), HBV DNA ≥2 000 IU/mL (OR=2.75, 95%CI: 1.38 — 5.48, P=0.004), and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) ≥6.0 kPa (OR=4.57, 95%CI: 2.17 — 9.62, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for significant inflammation. HBV DNA ≥2 000 IU/mL (OR=1.82, 95%CI: 1.01 — 3.32, P=0.049) and LSM ≥6.0 kPa (OR=2.06, 95%CI: 1.23 — 3.43, P=0.006) were independent influencing factors for significant liver fibrosis. Conclusion Among the patients with indeterminate phase of chronic HBV infection, a substantial proportion of patients have significant liver histopathological damage. Antiviral therapy should be initiated in a timely manner for patients with high-risk factors. -
